Hello DavidR,
It seems, if I uncheck "I only connect to Internet using Dial-up modem", in settings->updates, then the auto-update works, .... the strange thing is that parameter is checked in ver 4.8 and no problem with auto-updates.
..... Check the windows event viewer, anti virus section, it should be under the info type item. There are a couple of auto update entries there for me, see image.
Though you may find many errors listed, don't worry unduly about errors not displayed to the screen.
Well, I don't have those log entries.
Actually I don't even have a "anti virus section", (Application,System,Security and Internet Explorer).
Yes, there was a "anti virus section" in ver 4.8 , but not anymore with ver5 (I did a
fresh install of ver5).
And thanks again....[thumbs up]
